The Winnipeg Foundation - The Children and Youth Program Grants

The Children and Youth Program Grants are now open, offering up to $25,000 to support youth-serving organizations and established programs that help children and youth who may otherwise face barriers to participation.

This grant is a strong fit for summer camps committed to expanding access, welcoming more kids, and ensuring every child has the opportunity to benefit from a meaningful camp experience, whether that means financial assistance, program adaptations, outreach to underserved communities, or removing practical obstacles that prevent participation.
